A Vice Chairman of the NDC, Anita DeSosoo has warned MP for Ablekuma West Ursula Owusu Ekuful, not to carry her vitriolic language to the doorsteps of senior female government appointees who recently signed the Montie3 petition.

Gender Activist and Member of Parliament for the Ablekuma West Constituency described as hypocritical the decision by some women in government to sign a petition calling on President Mahama to pardon the convicted Montie FM trio.

According to the Ablekuma West MP, the action of the NDC members is a demonstration to the whole world that they support the actions of the three convicted persons who ran down the judiciary in derogatory terms.

But the Former NDC National Women’s Organiser strongly disagrees. She rather described Mrs Ekuful as a hypocrite and a disgrace to womanhood.

“We [women] should stop disgracing ourselves. I beg Ursula not to carry her insults to the doorsteps of our revered ladies. She should not go there. If she does, I will not forgive her. I will take her on” Anita said on Okay FM Wednesday morning in response to comments passed by Ursula Owusu on the program.

The three had on a radio programme threatened to eliminate justices of the apex court over their handling of the lawsuit on the credibility of Ghana’s voters’ register.

Following the incarceration of the trio after they were found guilty of contempt charges, several ministers and high-ranking officials of the incumbent National Democratic Congress (NDC), have signed a petition to put pressure on the President to grant them a presidential pardon.

Some of the women who have so far signed the petition include former Attorney-General, Betty Mould Iddrisu; Education Minister, Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang; Gender, Children and Social Protection Minister, Nana Oye Lithur; Tourism Minister Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare and Senior Advisor to the President, Valerie Sawyerr.

Speaking to Kwame Nkrumah Tikesie of Okay FM on Wednesday,, Ursula Owusu, described as most disappointing the signing of the petition by these women in leadership positions, since their signing of the petition serves as an endorsement of what the trio did.

They are not gender activists; they use gender activism to get notice and attention and the positions that they are occupying now,” she said.

“What distresses me is that Betty Mould Iddrisu is a former president of International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA). Nana Oye Lithur was a leading member of FIDA and if today they are telling the whole world they didn’t believe in what they were doing and it was a means to an end, what about the teeming Ghanaian women who are looking up to them to protect their rights; because they are not NDC, their rights don’t matter?

But a clearly livid Anita De So Soo took Ursula Owusu to the cleaners over her comments.

She told Kwame Tikesie, “Ghanaian women must be seen as one body. We must not be insulting each other, else we will be devaluing ourselves. What our Senior Female appointees are saying is that they do not support nor condone the reckless statements made by the Montie trio. By signing the petition, all they aresaying is that the punishment is harsh and excessive; and as mothers,are pleading with His Excellency the President to tamper justice with mercy and have their sentences reduced. So Valerie Sawyer, Nana Oye Lithur, Auntie Betty [Mould-Iddrisu] are not saying they support the attacks on the Judges. They know contemnors were wrong and they had shown remorse. The boys have been punished. What they are pleading for is that the President should exercise his prerogative of mercy.Which was used to pardon some 879 prisoners this year, to pardon the Montie trio,” Anita De Sosoo explained.
